[RAM]

Engage remaining scout car using railgun.
Deploy laser and nanoblade and engage theoretical opposition behind trucks.

[ComradeGafarov]

Find GUNNER. Tow GUNNER through HAGGARD CORN to ANNIHILATE him.

[Flying Dice]

You fire your railgun at the dismounted gunner, killing him. Half a second later, a bolt of plasma impacts the scout car you are standing on; radiant heat burns the organic layer of your left leg. You fire at the final scout car, and get an ineffective hit, as the round passed through the plenium chamber. The only noticable effect is that the vehicle dips slightly, hovering lower than before. The gunner fires again, but misses you. You fire a second shot, which rips through the gun mount and the gunner, pierces the driver's chest, and impacts on the pavement on the far side of the hovercraft, ricocheting off.

You hop down from the burning scout car and sprint towards the trucks. As you run, you deploy the nanite weapon as a blade along the same line as your right arm, extending from slightly below your elbow to 1.5 feet beyond your fingertips. The blade is not solid, but multiple layers of nanites forming a hollow shell several millimeters thick. The form seals, bonding to your arm, as you leap over the trucks. You land in a cluster of enemy infantry, two of whom turn to face you. You behead one as you lash out with a low kick, which propels the other forward into a truck, snapping dozens of bones and crushing his internal organs. You note that 5 other Zartrali are already dead. You can see 5 more along the roadway, three of whom are turning to face you. Two are still unaccounted for.

What do you do?

[RAM]

Fire laser!

[ComradeGafarov]

Tow them through HAGGARD CORN.

[Doomblade187]

Laser and railgun!

[Spinal_Taper]

Destroy all their vehicles using the rail gun, then use our super speed/strength to hunt down the remaining Zartali.

[Angle]

No destroying vehicles unless they're fleeing, we can salvage those.

[ComradeGafarov]

Just tow them through HAGGARD CORN to ANNIHILATE them.

[Flying Dice]

You fire your railgun at the Zartrali in front of you, while focusing your laser on one of them. Three die, and you expend 4 rounds of railgun ammunition, along with 2 seconds of charge from your laser capacitor. One ducks into a deeper section of the roadside ditch and cannot be reached by direct fire; another has climbed into the bed of one of the intact trucks, out of your line of sight. You see a small, round object arc towards you from where the first is proned. You feel a number of impacts in your back and deduce that they are flechettes; a moment later, several small explosions shred the flesh on your back, leaving your jumpsuit as more of a shorts & apron combo. There is no non-superficial damage to your nonorganic body.

What do you do?

[RAM]

Shoot bed of truck with railgun.
Proceed to ditch.
Direct laser towards extant Zentrali.
Pew-pew, pew, pew-pew-pew.



Mental imperative: Do not expend railgun ammunition on minimally armoured targets while laser is sufficient.

[Angle]

Engage in melee combat.

[ComradeGafarov]

Take the guy out of the ditch and tow him through HAGGARD CORN, and probably ANNIHILATE him.

[Flying Dice]

Engage in melee combat.

With whom? There are at least five potential target groups, one of which will result in involuntary termination, and a second of which will be rather pointless as vehicles cannot feel pain.

Side note:

14 remaining rounds of railgun in internal ammunition storage. All spare rounds are in your pack, back at the human position. You have 16 seconds worth of charge remaining in the capacitor for your laser.

Will wait a bit more to see if anyone has any additions/changes of mind.

[Spinal_Taper]

Destroy all vehicles. Spin around, laser everyone behind us
